Unity Help

Hi all have a question we have Unity 4.0.2 fully licensed in a lab we would like to migrate to unity connection 7.0 on new servers im new at this my understanding is we can use cobras which would require upgrade to inity 4.0.5 or it looks to me that we could do the Cisco unity 4.x to connection 2.X migration export tool .

Is the migration tool ok to use with 4.0.2 or is the preferred way to do the 4.0.5 upgrade these are both stand alone vm not unified....

Cisco Unity 4.x to Connection 2.x Migration Export tool

Note Updating the Migration Export tool for Connection version 7.x was unnecessary, so although the tool name includes Connection 2.x, the tool functions correctly for a migration export to 7.x. In addition, although the tool name includes only Cisco Unity version 4.x, the tool functions correctly for an export from versions 5.x and 7.x.

•Requires a server running a secure shell (SSH) server application to import Cisco Unity 4.x and later data and messages. Configuring an SSH server application can be a complicated and time-consuming process.

Cisco Unity 4.x to Connection 2.x Migration Export tool

I should probably pump that statement in the help file up a bit - "less data" is an understatement. By way of comparison the CUC 1.2 export gets about 20 subscriber properties exported - that's about it. COBRAS gets somewhere in the neighborhood of 1400 properties on users, handlers, interviewers, schedules, notificaiton devices, directory handlers etc...
